I have an idea, for Blast Attack "2-pack" figure. One is the complete Blast Attack, & the other(s) are the fully articulated "split halves" of Blast Attack. That way you can still have his "feature" without giving it to him.

If somehow, Blast Attack comes before Two-Badd, and he is able to split in half, I hope they make Two-Badd the same way so that we can make a Tuvar and Bahdra. It might take a little work but I think it would be awesome

Blast Attack was the last figure I got when I was a kid as the line was coming to an end, so he has a special place in my heart . It wouldn't really matter to me if he split apart or not as I wouldn't really want to display him in his "blown up" condition. For me he definitely ranks above the rest of the evil warriors that are left besides Two-Bad. I'd want him before Ninjor, Saurod, Twistoid, or Blade.

I've been thinking recently about Blast Attack... While not a perfect solution, here's a recipe for him while reusing as many parts as possible.
Head: New
Torso:Trap Jawn
Abs: King Hsss
Armor: New
Shoulders: Trap Jaw
Biceps: Roboto
Forearms: Horde Prime
Hands: Horde Prime
Crotch: New that works with King Hssss' torso
Thighs:Trap Jaw (Sadly Optikk got TJ thighs, so I'm going with those)
Boots: Trap Jaw
Feet: Keldor

Accessories: All new
Rifle, Detonator cord, "Exploding" Torso. (Pop off the head and arms of the normal Torso and attach to the proper spots on the exploding torso.)

sorry for the crude drawing, but here's a visual aide for the second Torso idea... (Not made to scale)
The head, arms and hands from the normal torso are meant to be plugged into the exploding torso piece. (hence the reuse of Trap Jaw's shoulders, Horde Prime's forearms and hands)

FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!

i wouldn't mind at all if Blast Attak didn't split in half, in fact, i think it would be best not to include such feature ... which probably won't happen if the figure ever gets made anyway

No, no, no... he's GOTTA be able to split apart! Otherwise what's the point? Of course he won't have a true action feature which mimics this, but he's got to at least split in half and be able to have his limbs pull off.

The best way I can see to make Blast Attak is to make all of his limbs removable. Head, arms, and torso have already been done. Now with Modulok, we have the engineering to have removable legs as well. Sure, it's not down the middle, but I think it'd be a lot cooler if he were done like this.

Blast Attak would be so cool. On one of the RGDs Dan mentioned (briefly) about perhaps a steampunk style. Normally I am not into the steampunk style custom figures (while cool, I am just not a fan of the 1800's stylings), BUT I think for Blast Attak it would be quite cool.

I really don't think they should bother trying to include his old action feature. It would be way too expensive for a figure that isn't all that popular to begin with. Just give him a fully accurate sculpt and he'll be great.

Why can't Blast Attack have pull-apart legs, arms, and waist?

So glad they finally made this figure. I thought he looked very cool back in the day and I though they did a great job translating him into the new line. HOWEVER, Toyguru stated it wouldn't have it's action feature. Well, what about at least making his legs, arms, forearms, and waist removable? It would be great to have BA parts lying around the battlefield or be able to replace them with other parts like trapjaw's arms, roboto's and hurricane hordak's weapons. Is it too late for this? Can we make this happen with enough support? What does everyone think?

Would have been a good idea but I am not too fussed that he doesn't. I think for the most part people will want to display him intact and with the huge amount of tooling we are seeing this year I think the additional cost of either his old action feature or any additional structural change like the one you suggest would have probably had a negative effect on the costings of other figures down the line.

Since he seems to share the Shoulders with Trap Jaw, there MIGHT BE a chance that his arms are removable. There's a question on ask Matty regarding that, but no answer as of the time I'm posting this.
I think I found a Use for the upcoming Bandai explosion effects.

Would somebody care to ask this question in the 'WTFWTK 2.134 - Ask your questions here!' thread so that ToyGuru can address it? I would like to know if removable limbs or King Hssss-style waist could be an option at this stage but have already asked my question in this round of WTFWTK.
